Bivacco Boerio

Bivacco Boerio, Bivouac hut in Bellino, Italy.

Bivacco Boerio is a wooden bivouac hut in the municipality of Bellino, in the Varaita Valley, set just above the southern shore of Lake Mongioia at the foot of Monte Mongioia. It has an octagonal plan and a metal sheet roof held down by metal tie rods anchored to the ground. Inside are 10 beds (8 fixed bunks around the central support, 2 folding wall bunks), a table and benches.

The shelter was built in 1992 and named after Franco Boerio, a member of the mountain rescue team from the Varaita Valley. The naming honored his work in keeping mountaineers safe in this alpine region.

The bivouac is named after Franco Boerio, a mountaineer and member of the Varaita Valley alpine rescue service. It serves walkers on the routes between Sant'Anna di Bellino and the French side, including the crossing to Maljasset over the Mongioia pass and the Vallon de Rubren.

The shelter is accessible only on foot and suited for experienced mountaineers familiar with alpine routes. Visitors should bring weather-resistant gear, as conditions at this altitude can change rapidly.

The shelter uses solar power to control its lighting system, helping mountaineers navigate even when darkness falls. Water comes directly from Lake Mongioia right next to the hut, making it self-sufficient for basic supplies.
